This recipe makes about 3 dozen mini cupcakes or about a 15 regular sized ones.
What you will need:
The Cake:3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBS Baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 cups flour
3/4 cup milk
The Coating
2 cups sugar
2 TBS cinnamon
1 stick butter
The Frosting
1 stick butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBS milk
What to do:
Preheat oven to 350F
1. Beat together sugar and butter until fluffy
2. Add eggs in one at a time until just incorporated
3. Add Vanilla
4. In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt
5. Alternate adding a third dry mix of ingredients with a third of the milk to egg mixture, mixing in between, until all of the flour mixture and milk have been incorporated.
6. In a well greased cupcake tin fill each tin about 3/4 full and bake for 12-15 minutes for mini cupcakes. 15-20 for average size.
7. While the cupcakes are in the oven melt one and a half sticks of butter over the stove, let sit until it starts to bubble, then stir constantly until lightly browned, and pour into a bowl. If you are going to make the frosting you can combine all the butter at this point.
8. Combine cinnamon and sugar onto long plate or wide bowl
9. Once cupcakes are out of the oven and cool enough to handle coat each side with melted brown butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
If you decide to have the frosting...Which you should.
1. Brown your butter if your haven't already and let cool to room temperature.
2. Combine powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla. If needed add one tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach desired consistency.
3. Frost cupcakes once they are cooled.
Like I said, these are pretty dang tasty. You should try them.
